After a brief hiatus in the United States, Mongoose returns as a consumer-direct, online brand with bikes ranging in cost from $135 to $2,600. In Park City, we got a sneak peek of the 2014 Boot'R. The 8-inch-travel bike uses Mongoose’s Free Drive suspension (an iteration of GT’s iDrive design) and comes with a RockShox Domain fork. It’s built with a SRAM X9/X7 drivetrain, X-Fusion shock, 800mm-wide bars, Kenda ExCavator 2.5-inch tires, Hayes Prime Sport brakes with 8-inch rotors. This is the brand’s top-of-the-line model and will sell for $2,600.
